“I believe in the thin and shiny needle that comes and goes on the fabric of life, stitching love in both directions.”
Hugo Gordillo, Four Seasons.
Come In, There’s Room For You Here.
If you’ve found your way here, I’m guessing you’re someone who leads with your heart.
You care deeply. You notice beauty. You want a life that feels true to you . . . even when the world feels sharp, or grief has changed the shape of everything, or what you’re longing for still feels too big to name.
There’s room for all of that here.
For deep conversations and ridiculous laughter. Rest and possibility. Flowers and hard truths. Big dreams, creative ideas, meaningful work, community, and the people and resources that can help something beautiful take shape.
We can tell the truth about what hurts and make space for what still brings light. We can wonder, ask questions, follow what’s calling you, and find creative ways toward what you need.
You don’t have to leave any part of yourself at the door.
You get to be who you are. Want what you want. And move at the pace that feels right for you. Welcome to Avella Rose.
Meet Lisa
Lisa Gordillo is a grief coach, a hope coach, a make-big-things-happen coach, and a fellow traveler through this beautiful, wild, and complex thing called Being Human.
She works with artists, widows, dreamers, and regular humans who are grieving, growing, creating, or finding their way to what comes next and want some support while they do.
She creates soft places to land and spacious places to dream.
Lisa believes in listening deeply, trusting what you know about yourself, and making room for the whole human experience: the tender parts, the hopeful parts, the ridiculous laughter, the beautiful ideas, and the life you’re actually creating.
Willow
Grief Support
For people facing loss, and the people supporting them.
You don’t need a roadmap to begin. Bring me the story you need to tell, the questions no one else seems willing to sit with, or the practical reality of getting through a loss.
Our work might include conversation, ritual, creative practices, advocacy, or simply having somewhere to exhale.
Opal
Life Coaching
For figuring out what you want and helping you make it real.
Come with a clear dream, a giant project, a crossroads, or just a vague sense that something needs to change. Together, we’ll untangle what matters, explore possibilities, and pay attention to what your heart is asking for.
Break an idea into manageable pieces. Trust yourself more deeply. Create a life that feels absolutely your own.
Velvet
For the big, layered thing you’re ready to bring to life.
Creative, logistical, emotional, communal - maybe all at once. High-touch and transformative. Deeply personalized support for the work itself and the very human experience creating it: your energy, confidence, relationships, and everything that can shift along the way.
Coming soon. Join the waitlist.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful
I don’t think the most interesting lives are built by following the same map everyone else was handed.
I’m much more interested in what happens when we stay curious, pay attention, and give ourselves permission to imagine something different.
There’s always more than one way forward.
Let’s see what yours could look like.
